\n So this morning we were en route to Russo’s, the
\n super fresh produce market in Watertown, rolling through Watertown
\n Square in the White Whale, when we saw something we couldn’t believe.
\n A quietly dignified although definitely shabby  elderly woman
\n was pushing a grocery cart full of plastic bags down the sidewalk in
\n front of the storefront bakeries, travel agencies and barber shops.
\n So far,
\n not
\n so unusual
\n in modern urban America.<\/p>\n

But perched in the Fragile Foods protector at
\n the back of the cart, propped up on pillows and folded swaths of
\n fabric, was the cutest little dog, dressed in a yellow T-shirt and red
\n sun visor, with a matching yellow tennis ball in his mouth.<\/em><\/p>\n

Immediately distracted, we detoured from our destination
\n and doubled back to try to find this fabulous couple,  And find
\n then we did, a few blocks away.  The dog is named Max. We never
\n got the lady’s name.<\/p>\n
